Great article on atheism.

Religion Science just goes from one ridiculous idea to the next, each as absurd as the one before it, only making sense to the fools, the unreasonable and the irrational.

Fixed it for you.

Well, you didn't fix it for me, but at least it now makes sense to morons.

Our intolerance isn't something you simple minded folk would understand, unfortunately it comes with the territory of being a reasonable and intelligent human being. Since it makes perfect sense that a reasonable person would struggle to tolerate an unreasonable one (religious person).  The intolerance a religious person feels is a fools one, it is based on the fact others don't believe the same fairy tales they do. Reasonable people's (atheists) intolerance is because the unreasonable (the religious) are allergic to reason and logic, so one is acting rationally and logically while the other refuses to do so.  Quite frustrating really, but fools have always been beyond help, that's what makes them fools.

And yes, atheists are smarter than religious people. Just facts, oops sorry, I forgot, god botherers don't care much for facts.

This post is a typical and now epic cliche in modern, Dawkinsian atheistic thought.  It's grounded in the "bile and venom" I mentioned and is often instantly demonstrated when noted (which I find comical).  Most atheists get behind this type of generalized rhetoric immediately and completely...."science flew man to the moon, religion flew planes into buildings!"  AND THE CROWD GOES WILD!!!! ("Dance wabbit...dance!!!".....cliff diving lemmings)  Ironically, it demonstrates almost everything about today's atheist and expresses nothing at the same time.  Bravo enlightened, free thinkers.....bravo.

The problem with this statement is its utter lack of truth and its psycological projection from atheists. It's you that are constantly trying to force your godless atheistic views on everybody else and ridiculing those that don't agree. Look in a mirror, dipshits.

Do you realize how religion was literally FORCED on people all over this globe? for thousands of years. Convert or else , only until very recently have non-believers been allowed to openly declare they're Atheism and do it without fear of reprisals such as DEATH

Keep your toy-God , no one wants to take him from you. The moment you start to try and control other people's lives if the moment you will be put in your place.

Science isn't perfect, nor does it rarely reach 100% consensus, unlike religion which claims divine wisdom. Science by it's very nature evolves into an ever greater understanding of the world around us, with a built in understanding that allows it to accept when it has been wrong.  Religion just goes from one ridiculous idea to the next, each as absurd as the one before it, only making sense to the fools, the unreasonable and the irrational.

how can one even speak on behalf of science as to what science is. Does your scientific knowledge excel mr shraddalu? He is more a scientist than you. Your a bitter jaded man with a closed mind, there's nothing scientific about that.

Bile & Venom? The church , religion and God have cornered the market on that. I guess we have a long way to go to catch up.

People are enjoying the freedom to criticize religion without fear of death or torture , you guys had a long reign of silencing your critics , your party is over.

The fear isn't over for all atheists, many places in the middle east you can still be murdered for being a rational, intelligent atheist.  The West just choose more subtle methods, like ostracism, discrimination and withholding privilege etc..

Onc can't help but laugh at religious peoples claims against atheists as full of bile and hostility, if ever there was a case of projection, this is it.  The hypocrisy of religious people never fails to astound me.

Oh No, you have latched onto another guru haven't you.  Poor Big Ro, stick to picking up heavy things would you.

Is there any fraud out there you don't latch onto?

He is a fraud.

The thing is, any reasonable person can ascertain that he is a fraud from hearing him speak his woo woo.  He is the second coming of Deepak Chopra.

Fucking religious people man, this asshole is claiming to be a scholar and scientist, not once did he go to a lab and work hours on end, not once did he pull and all nighter compiling the raw data into meaningful figures. He didn't spend the 10 plus years of hard work and dedication it takes to be a scientist (phd level), it's insulting and more bullshit from people who can't keep up.

I have never watched a second of this idiot speak. He has several fraudulent claims levelled against him also.

Big Ro, I suggest you watch the following film to come face to face with your true self (there are many gullible naive morons like you in this film you will definitely identify with)

This is pretty much it in a nutshell.

I enjoyed this film actually. I did not conclude however that ALL spiritual teachers are frauds.

good article....there are plenty of atheists that are happy, have zero interest in science, have zero interest in religion,  live normal lives and don't seek to challenge anyone....just being them is enough.  Nice,  polite, laidback folks that have no God.


Then you have Dawkinsian atheists....these are your four horsemen, pro debaters, celebrities, youtubers, vloggers, meme posters, online comment section posters, radio personalities, the Bill Mahers, the George Carlins, etc....most are just bile and venom for religion.   The vast majority will go to their graves with atheism and will proclaim it until their dying breath.

There's a little middle ground group but not much from what I've experienced.

Please define a normal life?  I would assume believing in a mythical being to be abnormal.

the source of the universe is a myth, you deny there is a source from which all has emerged?

Haha! What fucking trolling! As if ISIS is persecuting atheists! Retard, they are murdering Christians by the thousands! But that's probably cool with you. Less "morons" to browbeat into your blighted view of the world.

To be clear ISIS is killing people of all religion, muslims, Christians etc...  They are a bunch of psychopaths.

Yes, killing all religions. But the prevailing thesis is that all religion persecutes athletes, whish is complete bullshit.

By all means, go back 1000 years to "prove" your thesis.

Where Atheism Can Get You Killed

AJ, seriously, ISIS hates atheists probably more than they hate Christians. Don't be so foolish.

Atheists are just more in the "closet" in the middle east. If you told an ISIS member you did not believe in God, do you really think they would say, "Okay, we love atheists. Go along your merry way."   I assume either 1) atheists in the Middle East are keeping quiet about not believing in a God or 2) there is just a lot less atheism in the middle east when compared to America, Australia, and the UK.

They keep quiet because in some Islamic countries, atheists face discrimination and severe penalties such as the withdrawal of legal status or, in the case of apostasy, capital punishment.

Saudi Arabia
Atheism is prohibited in Saudi Arabia and can come with a death penalty if practiced.
In March 2014, the Saudi interior ministry issued a royal decree branding all atheists as terrorists, which defines terrorism as "calling for atheist thought in any form, or calling into question the fundamentals of the Islamic religion on which this country is based"


As for the West, A University of British Columbia study conducted in the United States found that believers distrust atheists as much as they distrust rapists. The study also showed that atheists are unfairly discriminated against and as a result have lower employment prospects (because they are atheists)

Brazil
A 2009 survey showed that atheists are the most hated demographic group in Brazil, among several other minorities polled, being almost on par with drug addicts. According to the research, 17% of the interviewees stated they feel either hate or repulsion for atheists, while 25% feel antipathy and 29% are indifferent.

These a just a couple of examples, for a more detailed explanation of the discrimination atheists still face across the globe, click this link. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrimination_against_atheists#Western_countries

And where is the opposition to these coming from? The religious right and why? Because a Bronze-age myth told them it's wrong. Stop being disingenuous.
